ooollldddddd lap top

ok....my friend has a lap top that he wants me to fix....it has no operating system, but it came with 95....so i stuck the 95 cd in and it didnt boot from it but instead said that message thing about "stick in a <whatever disk>"....and just to test i put in a millenium cd and it boots from that....but for some reason the 95 doesnt work...idk...do computers not boot from a 95 cd...and if they dont then what do i do instead???

(just to fill you in on it a little...its a gateway and it has a floppy drive...but it can only be in if you take the cd drive out)

ok....i ran into a problem....idt the version of nero that i have can make a blank bootable cd layout...or if it does idk where the option is.....but anyway, im getting the demo thing that after dawn gives to see if that works....but i doubt it...so is there anyother program that i can use to do this? or should i just go get the new nero?????

ok...well while it was dl'ing i started to look for another way to make one and i made it through roxio (i think)....but now i put it in and it says "Starting Windows 95"...then it waits a sec and goes to a:\> which is the cd drive...so i typed in setup.exe and nothing happend...it said it was a bad command...did i make the disk wrong...or do i just no know how to install 95 like this?...if i dont hten can you tell me what to do when it gets to a:\>

no its the a: drive ....but i tried e anyway and it said it didnt have one...then i tried all the other letters (up to like h and the only other one i had was c: (which is obiviously the hd)....so im gonna get the trial nero and try to make a new disk that will work...i'll get back to you soon
